Dr. Taylor Fontenot PT, DPT, OCS
(Owner and Clinic Director)
Dr. Taylor is committed to providing the best possible treatment for patients. He has completed an extensive amount of additional training since earning his doctorate in physical therapy in 2015. He is specialized in hands on manual therapy techniques and dry needling. While living in Texas he completed an orthopedic residency program in 2018 which involved further academic study and mentorship from multiple expert physical therapists. He also became a board certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) in 2021. Only 10% of all physical therapists across the country are board certified specialists in their field of practice.
He chose the field of physical therapy after his experiences recovering from sports injuries. He says, “I know how it feels to be injured or hurting and the negative emotions that come with it. The recovery journey is much quicker and less stressful when you have an expert who cares guiding you through it.”
Taylor is a graduate of University of Louisiana at Lafayette. His physical therapy journey led him to Austin, TX where he graduated from the University of St. Augustine. After living away from home for five years he and his wife both felt it was time to return home to their large Cajun families and the community they feel deeply rooted. Taylor is originally from Opelousas. He and his wife Morgan live in Lafayette and have two daughters. In their spare time, they enjoy attending LSU football games, traveling, hunting, and camping.
